A Dana Point Home Designed Around Indoor-Outdoor Living

One of the features that makes 33052 Santiago Drive particularly compelling is how strongly the home connects its interior living spaces to the backyard.

The open-concept family room flows through a spectacular 16-foot-wide set of AG Millworks folding glass doors, allowing the indoor and outdoor entertaining areas to function almost as one continuous living space. French oak floors, a floor-to-ceiling ledgestone fireplace and a dry bar with wine refrigerator add warmth and character to the main living areas.

This is the type of floor plan that works especially well in Dana Point, where outdoor living can be part of everyday life throughout much of the year.

A Private Resort-Inspired Backyard

The backyard may be my favorite part of the property.

Rather than a standard patio and lawn, the space has been thoughtfully designed to create several distinct areas for entertaining, dining and relaxing.

A dramatic 9-foot outdoor gas fireplace anchors one conversation area, while Italian white porcelain tile with contrasting borders creates a polished architectural look throughout the yard. An Apollo motorized louvered pergola with rain-sensing auto-close technology covers the outdoor dining area.

There's even a Sun Home infrared sauna with red light therapy and chromotherapy, creating a private wellness space at home.

Flexible Living With Two Primary Suites

Another standout feature is the presence of two spacious primary suites.

That gives the floor plan considerably more flexibility than many homes in the area and could work well for buyers who frequently host guests, need additional privacy within the home or are considering multigenerational living.

The home also includes five total bedrooms, interior laundry, walk-in closets and a main-level bedroom.

Chef's Kitchen and Open Living Spaces

At the center of the home is a generous kitchen equipped with premium appliances and extensive cabinetry and preparation space.

The current property features include a 6-burner stove, convection and double ovens, gas cooking and other upgraded appliances, while the kitchen connects directly to the surrounding living and dining spaces.

Important photo note: some MLS photographs show virtually rendered white cabinetry. For this blog, I recommend primarily using the photographs of the home's actual cabinetry so buyers are not confused about what is physically installed.

Living in the Sea Canyon Area of Dana Point

33052 Santiago Drive also provides easy access to some of the places that make Dana Point such a desirable coastal community.

 

Sea Canyon Park is nearby, while Doheny State Beach and Dana Point Harbor put surfing, beaches, waterfront recreation, dining and the harbor lifestyle within convenient reach. The listing identifies Malcolm Elementary, Marco Forster Middle School and Dana Hills High School within the Capistrano Unified School District; buyers should independently verify current school assignments. 

Is 33052 Santiago Drive Right for You?

This home deserves particular consideration if you're looking for a Dana Point property with:

substantial renovations already completed, a larger five-bedroom floor plan, multiple primary suites, sophisticated entertaining spaces and an unusually well-developed backyard.

It offers something many buyers want but can have difficulty finding close to the coast: a home that feels equally suited to everyday living and entertaining.
